Elden Ring gives players a variety of weapons to shred enemies with. Sometimes you just want to leave them all behind and turn your own body into a weapon instead. For players who enjoy this type of playstyle, our Martial Arts build might be right up your alley.
Insane Bloody Kicks Martial Arts Build in Elden Ring – Dane Footwork Build Elden Ring #eldenring
For this Martial Arts build, your main weapon is Dane's Footwork, a new Hand-to-Hand Art weapon introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree. Hand-to-Hand Arts are unlike any other weapon in Elden Ring, emphasizing close-quarters combat with quick attacks that deal Stance damage. Pairing this with a powerful Ash of War really pushes the power of this build over the edge.
By equipping Dane's Footwork with the new Ash of War DLC, The Poison Flower Blooms Twice, consistent damage with bonus damage from your Poison effects is guaranteed. This build functions as a Quality build, so if you are currently using a different build, a character respec may be in order.
Since this build starts as a Quality build, you should first get your Strength and Dexterity to 40. Then your Vigor to 50 to give you enough HP to survive. Getting your Endurance to 25 should be enough since you are not wearing any heavy armor or gear. A few points in Mind will give you enough FP to use your weapon skill. Finally, invest some points in Arcane to activate your Poison.
